Just curious about who has tuned their S?

PS Moderator: If we could leave this in the "S" section, rather than tuning, as that's all I wanted to know, would be grateful.

Defined "tuned" ... is the JCW upgrade included in your definition? At the other extreme, do you count someone who only replaced the air intake?

Any kind of tuning - air intake to JCW via aftermarket pulley or exhaust.... I was basically very surprised by the number of modded S's at the Cotswold's Run.

Yep, I will be modding my MCS - I've already got a BMP air intake, getting it lowered this weekend and I hope to have a 215bhp West Tuning conversion soon (see below).

What conversion have you got?

Cheers, LB.

Oh in that case I'm included for once... not left out.

Hi TT. I was parked next to you at lunch on the Cotswolds - 200BHP MCS JCW, but I believe that the 210bhp upgrade comes out in a couple of weeks time.

I guess it's because the sort of people who are enthusiasts go on these runs, and enthusiasts are the sort of people who go for after-market tuning.....

Are you tempted????

I have a Milltek cat back system on mine.... i will be replacing my car next year, may wait till then to Mod it, probably Hartge/BBR or West Tuning

lespurgeon · Aug 23rd, 2004, 11:49 PM

I find the MCS a very good all-around car as it is. Ours is used as our basic transportation (wife & I) and only car. I may change my mind later, and when it comes time to replace parts in several years (we had our last car for 12 years) may go the upgrade route - but the MCS works very nicely for us as it is.

Got a few other mods to do (Mont Blanc roof rack for example)

(OK - I fixed the Typo - thanks for the catch).

In a few days, there will be nothing to stop me from getting the DINAN stage 1 susp. with the strut tower brace and the camber plates(a susp. 2.5 package). i've got a whalen shift machine as of now as well as the factory aero kit and rallys.
